HARDSHIPS OF FINANCES DURING PANDEMIC

hardships of finances during pandemic
Today, almost 70 days of lock-down in our city. The future looks uncertain because of the Global Pandemic we are facing. I missed everything in my normal life. I missed my work as a teacher. I missed my daughter who is not living with me because of the pandemic. I feel that I am losing half of my life. So dramatic but true.
Because of this pandemic, many people are suffering from hunger most especially in some developing countries. The government are doing their best to give the needs of their people. How long they can support their people? I am so afraid that time will come, the government will not able to help.
Many people loses their jobs in the midst of this chaos. The income of people stops while debts are rising. So many unpaid like electric bill, house rental, water bill, etc. This makes our finances weaker and weaker all the time. I asked my self, is there any thing I can do to survive in this kind of situation?
BUDGETING!

This word comes to my mind immediately. Yes, even if we had a little resources or cash inflows, we can survive if we know how to budget our cash. A little hope instantly knocked on my door of hardship. I realize everything I need to do. And these are:
  1. Do not buy unnecessary things.
  2. Do not use money for vanity.
  3. Buy the affordable.
  4. Make a budget for whole week.
  5. Think of tomorrow.
Hardships… If you think of it, you will feel it. Always look on the positive side of the story to boost your optimism. Always remember that there is a rainbow after the rain. Don’t lose hope.
